How to invest with freedom and at

government. By the time Uncle Sam

duces George Francis Train to a normal
condition, he will know more about the

The democracy are in an agony of fear
lest David Hill should play the same
roll in the democracy OF New York
state that Conkling so long played In
shO ASPuuhSah party. NOuhllnS WAS
all that prevented Blsine's election in
1884 and gave the country Its present
democratic set back. Ia history to re.
peat itself and Hill to become the
means Of defeating Grover In New York
and returning the republican party to
power? 1t seems not unlikely. Hill
owes Grover nothing. The president
that now is came into power strongly
asserting his one term ideas. Hill
building upon these has no doubt set
his face towards Washington. Hill will
not turn that face Of his away from the
Mecca Of his hopes merely to please
Grover. The simple fact that promi-
nent democratic journals are driving at
Hill for not more earnestly supporting
the administration is quite conclusive
proof that sapient democrats scent the
danger and would persuade Hill to alter
his course.
